That Mischa Barton is just so wise.

Perhaps that's why her meltdown that sent her to the psychiatric ward is being blamed on her wisdom teeth. Still.

The Beautiful Life starlet appeared on The View today and was appropriately grilled on the situation. Instead of giving the Barbara Walters and the other ladies who coffee klatch stock answers or keeping her mouth shut, she opened way wide, including talk of pain meds and suicide (we think, kinda, sorta)…

Ashton Kutcher and Mischa Barton's publicist are on the same wavelength…and if it were on any topic other than the starlet's health, we would suggest her publicist reassess a few life decisions.

Anyhoo, both are of the same mind that Barton, after a not-that-brief hospitalization for a still unconfirmed "nonemergency" "medical issue," is slowly but surely making her way back.

Craig Snyder tells E! News that Barton is "improving" and "doing well" since her discharge from Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where she was first hauled July 15. He declined to say exactly when she was discharged.

And while Snyder has remained mum on reports that Barton's hospitalization was an involuntary psychiatric hold (à la Britney "5150" Spears), he did confirm that the former O.C. thesp has every intention of rejoining the Kutcher-produced CW drama The Beautiful Life when it resumes production in the coming weeks.

Interestingly, the start of production on the hotties-with-issues drama was pushed back from July 22 to July 31—but not because of Barton, the network insisted.

A CW rep told E! News yesterday that sets are still being built and the delay had nothing to do its recently rehabbed star, who plays a supermodel struggling to stay on top of her game in the face of fierce competition.

Yeah, yeah, we'll say it... Ironic.
